Funky Town Video - Must See!

Funky Town - Countryside Montessori Chipmunks

Greyson had a great day today but topped it off with a stellar performance at Camp Adondoe by doing "Funky Town" by Alvin and the Chipmunks with his buddies there. tonight was entertainment night at Camp and the kids performed for us. It was a blast and I should have some great videos on youtube before all is said and done. greyson is quite the entertainer as those who know him well already know. He put on an unforgettable show that the video will not do justice. What a hoot! That boy was shakin' his grove thing to no end. He is destined to be in drama or something. I've never been so proud. he was so confident in what he was doing and very comfortable too. It was hysterical to watch him. You go big man...love you to the whole wide world! love mommy & momom

Still tired....Long day...but successfully registered for school

This is Greyson's OT, Ms Karissa. He loves her!

Today was school registration day. Michele took care of that while I gave our pal Joy a ride to the doctor. After that I came home and took care of some things on the computer. Later around 11:45 I went to pick up Greyson for OT. He had a great day at OT with Ms Karissa practicing his trampoline & catching the big ball, picking up bean bags with a grabber claw while swinging on his stomach, and playing a game that helps his fine motor hand coordination. He loves going there and never wants to leave. I have noticed all of the kids feel that way no matter how severe/minor their disability. What a wonderful place it is and the people there are fantastic.

We also had swim lessons. He has graduated into the next class...the guppies...he was a polliwog this lesson. he is still doing wonderfully and his teacher says he is the most fluid in the water in his class. He doesn't flail around and panic like the other kids do. Once he stops the nose holding he will take off because he swims wonderfully now even holding his nose. It is pretty funny. Greyson is sooo tired again tonight. We must go to bed early or he is going to keel right over soon. He can barely keep his head up on his shoulders. (Looks alot like a bobble head due to fatigue.) i will leave it at that and say good night to all. I am tired too and ready to hit the hay... ;)

MATI night...hopped up on wine!

Greyson has had a wonderful day but the poor fella is about to pass out. I picked him up at school and his head bobbed all the way home. I thought he seriously was going to fall asleep before we could get to martial arts class. Poor guy....we changed and headed to class where he did great. The class is getting bigger but he will be advancing into a green belt class Sept 12th. We came home and met momom, ate some dinner, nothing to brag about....and now I am getting tanked up on some wine. I shouldn't be bragging about that of course but I feel like I needed it tonight. Imagine that....So...the truth is out. Mommy Lynn is being a lush tonight! haha...Go mommy! Go mommy! Big man is getting ready for bed and I will not be far behind. Goodnight moon...goodnight whoever else might be interested enough to be reading our blog....sweet dreams and as grandma Griffin used to say..."Good Night, sleep tight....don't let the bed bugs bite!" just for FYI....that used to freak me out....along with the "If I should die before I wake" thing! Let's scare the hell out of the kids...it'll be funny later...huh?!

Swimmin' lesson night

We had swimming lessons tonight and Greyson did great. he regressed back to holding his nose the entire time though. He had actually made progress last week with only holding it on occasion. We can work on it some more though. He is doing so well and we are really proud of his progress...nose holding or not! You go big man....He has some new friends and so do Michele and I. A really nice lady and her partner kinda started gravitating towards us when swim lessons started. It is an extremely long story...one that left me with my mouth hanging open on a night when Michele was not there of course! But they are really nice and I think we are going to try to have swim lessons together again with them. Maybe we will plan a play date for the boys sometime at Monkey Joe's or somewhere. They are very nice and I think they are excited to have met some other women in the area. More on that saga later...

We went to eat after swimming and Greyson had mac & cheese for the first time in a long long time....well to say the least....NO more mac & cheese. It definitely effects his behavior in a crazy sort of way. So...sorry little guy...we will have to find an alternative to that favorite meal. We love you but that has got to go! Momom and Grey are playing match box cars right now. It is sooo sweet how he loves to wrestle and play boy things with momom. It took a while to convince him she was a girl back when he was younger. haha...that was fun. Well family & friends...till tomorrow....Good night & lots of love to you all.

Shopping for a growing boy

Sunday August 3, 2008 - Greyson is obviously growing by leaps and bounds whether we are looking or not. so....that being said we went yesterday to get him a few new things for school. Tax Free weekend...better take advantage. After that we came home and just chilled all day and did absolutely nothing. Gotta love that! Greyson did get a few special surprises from momom so he was occupied with his new game the rest of the day. We need to get him outside but it has been way too hot for all that. Short of living in a pool it just isn't any fun. So....we hung out at home and did our thing.

I thought about my girl Valerie some since she a Stacey had a big commitment ceremony. We were not able to attend with all that has been happening but I hope they had a great day, a huge party, and alot of love shared at the ceremony. I wish them both tons of happiness and all the best! you go Girls!

Well...I will talk to you all later tonight. hugs!

Friday & Saturday Events...

Friday - Greyson did well at camp yesterday and even got some extra beads for his bead necklace during bead ceremony. They get bead rewards for being honest, respectful, behaving well, camp spirit etc. but they have to earn it from a counsleor or LIT. He did great and once it was over he went outside to see Mr Nick and welcome them back from their trip. He really loves Mr nick and respects him. We talked to Mr Nick and then went home to pick up momom for a meeting with Ms Julie. We visited with her while Greyson played with John and Conner. We all ate pizza and then we went to the Super Target to pick out a gift for Ms Megan. Tomorrow is her party so we need to be ready to play.

Saturday...am...Megan's party. Greyson was really good at Megan's party. He swam alot even in the deep end, and played with some of the girls from his class last year. He was excited to see them you could tell. They played for a while then it was time for pizza...he loves pizza and he let everyone know it. He is sooo funny. They swam some more and then made cup cakes. Later Megan opened her gifts and Greyson was so anxious for her to open his. I was proud to see him patiently wait for her to finally get to his gift. He just sits and looks at her like she is the best girl ever. It is really sweet to see. After that they swam a little more and then opened the pinata for candy. It was a great day and he left worn out. We are now at the house awaiting our night out. Momom and mommy need a break every now and again. Thanks to Ms Heidi we will have one tonight for a while. We love Ms Heidi and cannot say enough kind things about her. She is like part of our family now even if we do not see her as often. well...gonna check out for the night. We will talk with you all tomorrow.

One last thing...Congratulations to Ms Stephanie and Mr Shawn on their new arrival! Welcome to the clan little guy! We are one BIG extended family and we are adding more and more! Love to all of you! :)
